In reply to CELEXA SIDE AFFECTS AND SEX????????, posted by MELODY M on November 7, 2000, at 21:02:42
Melody...I can only speak from my experience....It took two weeks for the Celexa to start working for me...and believe me, you'll KNOW when it is! It took a week for me to figure out the best time of day to take it, and if you're having the sleepiniess...try what I do, take it after dinner....it helps you sleep, and you feel great in the morning! Also, to be perfectly honest, yes, the sexual side effects do affect women as well as men. My husband and I have a pretty good sex life, but I will admit that since i've been taking this, I don't quite "get there" if you know what I mean....I don't like it, but my peace of mind and mental health is my main concern right now, so unless there's an herbal miracle that someone can tell me about, I guess I have to live with it! I refuse to call my male doctor and ask him for something...it's just the stubborness in me! But remember...not everyone reacts the same way...from some of the posts i've read, it seems to be a 50/50 thing.
I hope that helped...
Lori
